Solbi (Korean: 솔비,born September 30, 1984) is a South Korean singer and actress, who debuted as a member of mixed group Typhoon in 2006.

Career

Solbi had been trained by songwriter Kim Se-jin for more than 2 years. A total of 18 tracks make up Typhoon's first album, which was released in 2006. The album ranges from disco, reggae, techno and ballads. Although the trio concentrates on dance music, Typhoon wanted to display their talent by offering a variety of songs on their first album.

Aside from her music career, Solbi has also achieved fame as a television host on MBC, in shows such as "Sang Sang Plus Season 2" (alongside Lee Hyori and Shin Jung-hwan), as well as a current host on "Music Core" with Big Bang members Seung Ri and Dae Sung.

As of February 2008, Solbi was cast in the reality show "We Got Married", where (originally) eight celebrities are paired up to live together as newlyweds. Solbi was paired up with Hong Kyeong Min for the Lunar Special episode, but for the rest of the series her partner is Andy of Shinhwa. Through this relationship, she has appeared on other variety shows with Andy's band members Kim Dong Wan, Jun Jin, Shin Hye Sung and Lee Min Woo. She was also casted in MBC mini series "라이프: 특별조사팀" ("LIFE: Special Investigation Unit") [ [http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/2008-k-drama-first-half-wrapup/ Twitch - (2008 K-DRAMA)] ] for seven episodes until she quit due to commitments to "We Got Married". Her character, Jung Ju Ri, was written to leave the show because of her upcoming marriage to Andy.

It is commonly confused that Solbi was born in 1983. This is because there had been a misunderstanding while filing her birth certificate, whereas it officially states that she was born in 1983, while her real birthdate is 1984, which she confirms on a talk show with her mother.

On June 19 2008, Solbi released her first solo digital single, titled "Cute Love", the lyrics in which she composed herself. The song is used as Andy and Solbi's theme song for the show.

On July 15 2008, she recorded a Korean version of "Way Back into Love" from the 2007 movie "Music and Lyrics" with Kim Jong Wook.

Solbi's first mini album titled "Do It, Do It" was released on September 17 2008.

Solbi and Andy made their official exit from "We Got Married" on October 5 2008.
